The whole world to Chester Bennington: We’ll keep you in our memories

Today the world awoke to a heartbreaking news in the history of music — rock icon Chester Bennington is dead. The lead singer of acclaimed rock band Linkin Parkreportedly hanged himself in his private home in L.A. yesterday, July 20. Coincidentally, it should have been his close friend, Chris Cornell’s 53rd birthday. Cornell’s suicide two months ago greatly affected Bennington and the latter dedicated their song One More Light from their latest album of the same title, for his dear friend.

Now the whole world mourns for the loss of yet another inspiring artist. People from all walks of life are flooding the internet sharing their shock, heartbreak, and sorrow, including Bennington’s bandmates:

Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true. An official statement will come out as soon as we have one.
